Chapter 401
Corinne chuckled. “Nope, I don’t get it at all. If I leave and you
go back to Mister Jeremy, then aren’t you afraid that he’ll lose interest in you too once he gets tired of playing with
you?”
When they reached that point in the conversation, Anya’s expression became proud aloxo.com fast updateng
with a little touch of condescending sympathy. “That’s where I’m different from you, Corinne.”
Corinne. “Oh? What’s the difference then?”
“My family background is on the same level as Jeremy’s. My parents love me, and they protect me. Whatever
happens, both my brothers will be my support and my shield. You don’t have people like that in your family, do
you?”
The smile on Corinne’s face sank instantly and she suddenly realized something. “So it was you who went to the
Carews and told them that I married Jeremy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnya answered without sidestepping the question. “Bingo! It was me!”
Corinne remained calm as she asked, “Did you think you can chase me away from Mister Jeremy by goading the
Carews into causing trouble for me?”
The innocent and demure appearance that Anya usually wore had disappeared, and she no longer hid her high-
born haughtiness.
“I know it’s not that simple, of course! I just want you to understand your situation a little better. You have no
backing,
and you married into a wealthy family without having a solid foundation. As time passes, you’ll only be viewed with
disdain.
“I, on the other hand, have no reason to be afraid of that. After all, none of my family members are that easy to
offend, so the Holdens would never dare to treat me badly and Jeremy won’t treat me badly either.
“Even if something bad happened one day and my relationship with Jeremy broke down, I would still be able to bear
the consequences. My family will become my way out, and they’ll always be there to protect me. Do you
understand that now? That’s where my confidence comes from!”
“So,” Corinne asked, “you’re relying on the protection of your family as your backing?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Anya replied.
Corinne smiled.
“I’ll admit that I don’t have that sort of backing, but I can still rely on myself. I don’t depend on anyone, and I don’t
expect to be protected by anyone for the rest of my life. The only way to avoid being put in a disadvantageous
situation is to be able to fulfill your own needs without needing anyone’s help.
“The reason I stayed with Mister Jeremy is simply because I have a good impression of him. I neither want nor wish
to rely on his family, status, and wealth. Even if he loses interest in me, or I lose interest in him, we’ll just leave each
other and no one will be on the losing end.
“I advise you to save your energy and stop racking your brains with all these little schemes. If you’re not careful,
your perfect angelic facade will collapse, and no one will spoil you

After saying what she wanted to say, she got up and prepared to go back and see if the chicken wings were done
roasting.’ Wait, Corinne! I have something to show you!”
Anya was persistent, and she chased after her to stand in her
way.
Corinne was losing her patience, and she looked at Anya while asking, “What?”
Anya gently lifted her blouse to reveal a section of her abdomen. “Do you see this scar?”
There was a very obvious scar on her slender, fair-skinned abdomen.
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Did you get that after an operation to remove your appendix?”
That question only riled Anya up further as she gritted her teeth and said, “This is the scar from a c-section!”
Corinne was slightly taken aback and stared in disbelief at
Anya, who was about the same age as her. “You’ve given birth to a child?”
Anya smiled. “Yes, Jeremy’s child.”
“What?”
